Dear Sir:— l am this morning in receipt of your favour of the 18th instant, requesting to have some of the Balm sent out to your State as soon as possible. Such is the [tressing demand in every section, that I have, as yet, not been able to supply the orders that have been some time on hand. 1 have had an order from /Au gusta, G eorgia, and Savannah, since last win- j ter, and only last week sent one groce to each [dace. Dr. E. R. Calhoun, of South Carolina, lias contracted for that State and Georgia, and 1 have shipped to him near live thousand bot ties, all that I could spare. As soon as I can, 1 will send him more; but when, I cannot say, as 1 must divide it as well as I can, until I can sup ply each State fully. 1 will domyself the pleas ure of requesting Dr. Calhoun to establish an a gency at your office as soon as other engage meats will allow. 1 have been putting up near ly two thousand per day, and now find myself in want of about fifty thousand for immediate use, and have not fifteen bottles, but what are packed up for shipment. From the present de mand, I should not be surprised, if it were to take five hundred thousand bottles a year to sup ply the demand. Yours respectfully, &c. 'll. B. MONTAGUE. ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATES. Albemarle, April, 18-36. Dear Sir:—We suppose you like good news, particularly when you are mostly interested. We have but two bottles left of the box of Balm you sent us. You can draw at sight for $ , which we believe will be the amount, after de ducting commission and expenses We will thank you to send to our friends, Messrs. * * *, j of Richmond, by first conveyance, a double box, which you will put at your wholesale price, for which you can also draw on us. It has failed in two instances in this neighborhood, but one of the persons that we have seen, thinks it was (witli him) rheumatism, as he had the tooth drawn, and the pain still continued. Several persons have used it, with defective gums, or scurvy, and are so much delighted with it, that we are charged to keep a supply. The ladies are using it with the tooth-brush, and say that it is the best thing for the teeth and gums they have ever used. We are glad, for the sake of the sufferers, as well as on your account, that this remedy is not only not of Northern or igin, (from whence all the patent nostrums come,) but is a Virginia preparation, and by a Virginian. Nor does it detract from its efficacy, on account of the place of its preparation, (Pe tersburg,) once styled by Mr. Jefferson, the “cockade of America.” It seems to us, that all you now have to do, is to see to it, that you keep a supply sufficient for the demand—for if it sells elsewhere as it has done here, there will be no end to the demand. Several merchants of my acquaintance, mean to send for a box. Allow us to congratulate you, and the public, at the discovery and use of the only remedy (ex cept drawing) for tooth-ache, that lias yet been discovered. Respectfully vours, R. R. & T. T. G. Huntington, i near Cabin Point, 24th March. ( Dear Sir: 1 bought a bottle of your Balm from Messrs. , in Petersburg, in Februa- ry, chiefly because 1 had a servant who had suffered most excrutiatingly for some months. We had tried all the remedies which were in our reach ; an attempt was made to extract the tooth, but broke it off. I caused the Balm to be used after warming it in a cup—this was re peated with a second spoonful, when she vas entirely relieved. The next night she came for more, saying that a tooth on the other side ached, and also t equested some for her husband who, she said, had been suffering with the same disease for some weeks. I cheerfully gave it, and the next da von inquiry found ih.it both were relieved. One of my neighbors of high respec tability sent to me for some for his wife. I have this day seen him, and he assures me that it afforded immediate relief, and there has been noreturn ; before she suffered almost constant ly,and could not bear to l< t cold water touch the tooth, and for two nights previous to theap plication,she had not been able to sleep scarce ly at all. Now she has no inconvenience from cold water or any tiling else that comes in con tact with the tooth. The night before last he used some with one of his own men, with the same success, ami says if lie could have have had this remedy fifteen years ago, ami known its ef ficacy, he would williiiglv have given a hundred dollars for it. I have written in haste giving a plain statement of facts. Yours respectfully. WMF. R. RUFFIN, i September 9. 34—ts. iHiEEEnoEviEEE, oeobgia, Tuesday mobhino, march ss, 1937.

TRUFFLE is a rich Mahogany Bay, and as to symmetrical, grand, and majestic, appear ance is second to no horse living, his blood is unquestionable, his size uncommon, being six teen hands high, and his form superior to most of true blooded horses, this distinguished horse is now a citizen ol Georgia. The one half of Truffle is owned by Ex-Governor James Bar bour, of V irginia, and the other half belongs to Richard Rowell of Baldwin county Georgia. He will stand the ensuing season at the planta tion BELFAST, eight miles tibove Milledge ville, ca the Eatonton Road, and he will be let to mares on the following terms: Fifty Dollars, the season, and a dollar ta the Groom., and cne hundred dollars tcinsure a mare in foal. Should any person put a mare the spting season, and she does not prove in Foal, the same person bringing the same mare shall have the fall sea son gratis. The season money will bo expec ted on or before the expiration of the season, which will commence on the fit st day of July next. No accountability for accidents, though all the attention will bo paid that can be, as TRUF FLE will be under my immediate control. Any mare sent to rem tin with Truffle, will be fed with grain at ten dollars per mont.b. Good pasturage gratis.

Good and extensive pasturage will be provided for mares from n dis tance, and they will be fed with grain ii’directed. All possible ci.re will be taken to prevent acci eats, but no liibility for any that may happen. The proprietors congratulate themselves with having it in their power to present this unrivalled Stallion to the public at this interest ing and favorable period in .he history ofthe blood horse of the south—a period of which the gay and sprightly offspring of Mark Galla tin, Potomac, Whip, and Andrew, are eliciting the admiration of a large portion of the commu nity, and commanding the attention of the sporting world. To the progeny of ail these, we can with confidence recommend ARAB as a most valuable cross, in support of which, we have these very powerful reasons: his purity of blood, his tremendeous size, his exquisite and incomparable beauty, ail of which he combines in a higher degree than any other horse now on the continent. We mean no disparagement to others ; but in order to show the high esti mation in which ARAB’S STOCK is held, we wdl record a few facts which we think will establish, beyond the least possibility of doubt, their superiority. Bet Bounce, the Dam of Arab, sold for $2- 909, after she was 19 years old ; Coquette for 01OtlO, after she had broke down ; and for a brood mare, Bersheba would have commanded any price her owner would have -.sked, but she died when going into her sccon 1 training. She was thought by her trainers to be the best mare the world ever produced. For Janette, 82,5x0 were refused, Tat iff it is believed sold for 83000,; for Eliza Kirby, 2,500 has been re used ; 82,250 was refused for Gen. Brooke the last son oi’ Bet Bounce, and Ar iti himself sold for 85000, and cannot be bought at this time not less than double that sum. These plain, simple, and unvarnished facfs, which need no comment, are motioned for no other purpose than to shew the great value of Arab’s Stock. In confirmation of what has been said, we will give an extract from a certificate of Col. \\ m. It. Johnson whose opinions in Vir ginia, and every where else, are acknowledged to be unquestionable : “Bet Bounce and her stock are among our first favorites and I give the following facts for thinking so : I sold the one hall of Bet Bounce at 19 years old. to Dr. Mingo, for one thou sand dollars ; she was the dam of Arab, whoso standing and character is admitted. Os Lady Hamilton, by Sir Arthur (the dam of Arab) her first colt, that was sold for 1,500 dollars of Coquette, by Sir Archie, that i sold for l,0t)0 after breaking down. She was the dam of Jeannette, by Archie, that I gave fifteen hun dred dollars for, and refused 2,5 s 0 ; also Bv rom’ by Virginian,, which at two years old, sold for 81,500; of Silvertail, (a filly) b / Archi that commanded at one year old :■ , Hit>o ; of a two year old Archie Filly that would bring 8100 O: ahd of a sucking filly at her side, by Medley, for which S6OO has been offered. Bet Bounce was also the dam of Bersheba by Archie that died at three years old, and was the ; favorite ofthe family. She irnvcj appeared io ’ public but once, when she contended with the Ison of old Bet, that I gave SIOO3 for at 1! I months old. Sally Mel’vi le, by Virginian, he: j daughter, I sold for $1,6t)0 before she was I vear old. Bet Bounce is also the dam of I two year old \rchic filly of such promise as t< J induce Mr. Mingo, her owner to enter into a sweepstake at New-York, to be run for next spring, there are 17 subscribers at 500 dollars each : and of a yearling-colt by Archie, that told me lie had offered SSOO when he was three we :ks old. Iler stock are generally large handsome and admired, and almost the whole of them alluded to by me, would command very high prices at this time, some of them three or four times their cost. These sales have cer tainly taken place. I have preferred stating, to giving or procuring certificates. (Signed) WILLIAM R. JOHNSON. Making the sum of near s2Q*ooo that old Bet and ten of her family actually sold for, and some of them not three weeks old, and many of them not three years old. Stronger or mote substantial facts could not be urged in proof of the exalted station occupied by Arab and Lis stock i:t V irginia,'and not a doubt can now be entertained that his colts stand in the very first rank of distinguished racers at the present day, to prove which we refer tnepublic to the Amer ican Turf Register, where it will be seen that he has produced as many winners at; almost a ny other horse now living. Our limits will not permit us to go into lengthy details, but will give below the performance ofa sufficient number of his colts to establish the fact, that be is the sire of race horsos ofthe very first order, for which purpose it is only necessary to mention a few of his first colts, that were three years eld in 1830. They made their appearance on the Turf in in North Carolina, Virginia and N. York of this year, and won for themselves laurels which will never fade. One at Tree Hill, beating an Ar chie ; one at Long island beating an Eclipse with others. The same colt (Parkes) was then matched and run for S6OO, against Max well’s Filly, by Eclipse a single two miles, j which he ran will, great ease. He run at New, Holland with 190 pounds, against all ages, win ning at two heats easily. At Lancaster he won a match a single mile. He lost once out of fiveraces, and then was beaten by the celebra ted mile horse Fox, by Eclipse. All were as tonished to see Fox run so closely by a three year old, with a catch upon each, 2d heat won by six inches. One at Lawrencpville, beating a Sir Charles ; one at Salisbury, beating a Di on, at 4 beats ; one at New Market, beating four others at two heats, one minute fifty-three seconds each heat; and one at Norfolk, beating an Archie at three heats first heat won by Stan dard, 1 minute 49 seconds—second heat won by the Arab Filly, one minute 53 seconds, and the third heat by the Filly, in 1 minute 55 sec onds. Since which his colts have been running with unparalled success in various parts of the United States, and particularly in Virginia, as will he seen by the following extract of adetter from Air. Thomas Goode ’Flicker, a gentleman of high standing and character, of Brunswick county, Virginia. Speaking of Arab he says, “Some of his get at this time, though in young and inexperienced bands, are gathering the laurels, even with such men as Johnson and Wynn as their competitors. Tuberouse and/ Bethany will build a high reputation which can not be ptrilcd down it. Virginia where the value of his stock has lately increased at least fifty per cent. If ever there was a horse that lias stormed the prejudices of a people, and tri umphed by dint of Superiority over the vile and in: iduous attack of interested jockeys, 1 ’tis ARAB.” PEDIGREE. ARAB is a beautiful dark bay, over 19 hands high, honest measure, of fins carriage 1 and action, and commanding presence ; was sired by the well known and celebrated stallion Old Sir Arciiy, of whom nothing need be said ; his dam old Bet Bounce by the imported horse Sir Henry, his grandam by Hart’s imported horse Sir Henry, his grandam by Hart’s im ported Medley, great-grandam by old Mark Anthony, g. g. grandam by imported Jolly Ro ger, out ofthe imported mare Jemmy Camme ron. fSigned) JAMES J. HARRSION. The same gentleman, after staling in the most glowing terms, his opinion of Bet Bounce and her stock,for he trained them all,] speaks of A rab and Bersheba, as the very best racers of the day, and gives Arab’s performances as fol lows : “ At three years old, he beat Defiance, a full brother to Washington, (by Timoleon) two mile 1 heats, at three beats. This race was won by Fhrtilla, owing to circumstances. Twenty days afterwards, he heat Flirtilia, at Halifax, N. C. two mile heats for the great stake—-three days afterwards, he was entered against the cel ebrated Sir Henry, ami the heroine Janette, 3 mile heats. Here Arab’s superiority was clear ly evinced, for be beat them both at three heats, throwing away the first, and winning the first and second and third heats. After that, he met Defiance, and settled a four mile contest at one heat. And in like manner fulfilled an engage ment with a full sister to Carolinian, at one heat of four miles. He then run a trial of two miles out with the celebrated Henry, beating him from 60 to 70 yards, and making the run, with training shoes on, says one ofthe timers, in three minutes and forty-eight seconds ; per haps the greatest gallop of two miles since the days of Childress. After that, he was entered in a four mile contest with that truly formida ble race mare Janette, that won 14 out of 16 races, and died young. She was nearly allied to ARAB, coming out of his full sister, and begotten by his father. After running three miles or more, Arab was going ahead as hard as ■he boy couil pull him from 60 to 80 yards, and suddenly, for the first time in his life, he stopp ed till she had passed him 150 yards. He then started again, an I in the three quarters of a mile overhauld her and stopped again, and lost the heat, and finally the race, as he positive ly refused starting the second heat and never wouldrun kindly afterwards.” liis owner thinks, in making out his certifi cate, that by some oversight, Capt. Harrison omitted to mention one of Arab’s bestiaces: that .Mr. James Summerville, of Warrenton, a gentleman, of undoubted veracity and character assured him that in some four mile contest with loiml’ichards, Arab had crlainly distance.lhim. Enough, however has been said to show his superiority as a racer. In fact his racing pow ers have never been questioned nor indeed can tlu:y be. As regards blood he cannot be sur passed : nothing could be more pure at his foun tain, and not one drop ofimpurity in any ofthe tributary streams. As regards his size and beauty, we honesty believe his equal cannot be found in an V living 1 torse. We therefore in vite the public to come and see, and judge for themselves ; for an attempt at a correct descrip tion of this unequalled horse would be less than tseless. He combines and all the strength and 'toldnes ofthe lion with the beauty and activity >f the roebuck, and is unquestionably ,the best pialiued horse on earth to produce horses of ail isos ; and as it is but pist that we should render a valuanble consideration in return for what we receive we offer Arab’s services to the public on norereasonable terms than those ol' any other I h >rse on the continent, of his grade A short list of winning colls is subjoined to gratify those of our friends who have not an op- I portunity of referring at all times to the Turf Registei ; and in almost eve :-j' instance where] his colts were not winners, they were the con- i tending nags : November 1832.-—At Norfolk, for silver cup j and urn, mile heats, be: ‘ three in five ; won ’.y Arabia Felix, by Arab at four heats, beatirg [ an Eclipse and three others.

Axd ofthe unparalled success of Tartar by Arab, who in five contests vanquished with ease all his competitors, among whom wascele- I brated Robin Hood, at 3 heats with many others I that could be mentioned. The above, however shows that Arab’s colts have contended repea- j tedly & successfully with the colts of most ofthe ci lebated horses in America, at all distances, j from 1 to 16 miles, sustaining the high charac- : ter of their distinguished ancestor. Now is the opportunity offered to the etti- ! z,ens of Georgia, for breeding from this noble horse. Those wishing to improve their stock, know their interest. THOMAS G. SANFORD &. CO.

By the first section ofthe law it is enacted : “That any field, or, staffer other officer, mounted militia man, volunteer, ranger or cav alry, engaged in the military service of the U nited States, since the 18ih of June 1812, or who shall hereafter be in said service, sustained or shall sustain damage, without any fault or negligence nn his part while in said set- ; vice, and has sustained or shall sustain damage I without any fault or negligence on his part while in said service, by the loss of a horse in ■ battle, or by the loss of a horse wounded in bat- j tie, and which has died, or shall die of said | wound, or being so wounded, shall be abandon- ! ed by order of his officer, and lost or shall sus- | tain damage by the loss of any horse by death, j or abandonment, in consequence of the United States failing to supply sufficient forage, or be cause the rider was dismounted and separated from his horse, and ordered to do duty on foot at a station detached from his horse, or when the officer in the immediate command ordered or shall order, the horse turned out to graze in the woods prairies or commons, because the United States fade 1 or shall fail, to supply suf ficient forage, and the loss was or shall be con sequent thereof, or for the loss of necessary e quipage in consequence ofthe loss of his horse, as aforesaid, shad be allowed and paid the val ue thereof: Provided, That if any paymtn: has been or shall be made to any one aforesaid, for the use and risk, orfor forage after the death, loss or abandonment of his horse, styd pay mem shall be deducted from the value thereof, un less he satisfied or shall satisfy, the paymaster at the lime he made or shall make the payment or thereafter show by proof, that he was re mounted, in which case the deduction shall on ly extend to the time he was on foot: rind, provided also,tiny payment shall have been, or shall hereafter be, made to any person a boviy mentioned, on account of clothing, to which he was not entitled by law, such payment shall be deducted from the value of his horse and accoutrements. To establish a cltfim under this provision, the claimant must adduce the evidence of the officer under whose command he served wh n the loss occurred, if alive,; or, if dead, then of the next surviving officer ; describing the property, the value thereof, the time and man ner in which the loss happened, and whether or not it was sustained without any fault or negli gence on claimant’s part. The evidence should also, in case the claimant was remounted after the loss, state when he was remounted, how long he continued so, and explain wherher the horse whereon lie was remounted had not been furnished by the United States, or been owned by another mounted militia man, or vol unteer, to whom, payment for the use and riske thereof, or for its forage, whilst iu the possession ofthe claimant may have been made; and if it had been thus owned, should mime ti e per son, and the command to which he belonged. And in every instance in which the claim may extend to equipage, the several articles ol which the same consisted, and the separate value of each, should be specified. Second Class of Cases. The seco; d section of the law enacts: “That anv person who, in t.ie iiitary service, or draughted militiaman, .urn’slietl or shall furnish himself with arms ai.c rniiitary ac I’.otifrements, and sustained or snali sustain damage bv the caplure or destruction of the same, without any fault or negligence on his > part, orwho lost or shall lose the same by rca- L UJSLISSIk'A L’Y P.

To establish a claim under this provission, it will be necessary to produce the .e.-.timony »f the officer or agent of . the United States who impressed or contt ..c‘e:l for l’.:e servioe ofilio the psopeity mentioned hi such claim, and also ofthe officer ttnclor t r-ese im veilkle command the same '.vas employ a.d at the time si capture, destruction loss, or aliat'.dciiriieiit ; declaring in what way the propety was taken into the ser vice of the United Ulates, the value thereof, whether or not the risk to which it would be ex posed was agreed to be incurred by the owner, whether or not as regarded horses, mules, or ox en, he engaged to supply the same with suf ficient forage in vvl:.it manner the loss happen ed, and whether or not it was sustained without any fault or negligenceoa bis part. The sixth section ofthe law enacts : “That in ail instances where any miner has been, or shall be engaged in the military ser vice of the United States, and was, or shall be provided with a horse or equipments, or with military accoutrements, by his parent or guar dian, and has died or shall die without paying for said property, and the same has been, or seall be lost, captured, destroyed, or abandon ed, in the manner before mentioned, said pa rent or guardian, shall be allowed pay therfor, od making satisfactory proof as iu other cases, and the further proof that lie is entitled thereto, by havihg furnished the same." A parent or guardian cf a deceased minor will, therefore in addition to such testimony ap plicable to his claim as is previously described have to furnish proof‘hat he provided the mi nor with the property therein mentioned ; that the minor -died without paying for such proper ty : and that he, the parent or guardian, is en tiued to payment for it, Ly his having furnished the jtame. The seventh section of the law enacts : “That i.i all Instances where any persons other than a minor, has been or shall be en gaged in the military service afpresaid, and has been or shall be provided with a horse or e qiiwSnents, or with military accoutrements, by any person, the owner thereof, who has risked, or shall take the risk of such horse, equip ments, or military accoutrements on himself, and the same has been or shall be lost, cap tured destroyed or abandoned, in the maznen before mentioned, such owner shall be allowed pay therefor, on making satisfactory proof, as in other cases, and the further proof that he is entitled thereto, by having furnished the same, and having takan the risk on himself." Besides tiie testimony in support of Lis claim herein before required, every such ownci, there fore, will have to prove that lie did provide lli» horse, equipments, or military accoutrements therein mentioned, and took the rKk thereon on himself'; ane, that he is entitled to pa/tnereoi, bv having furnished the same, and taken the risk thereof, on himself; .'nd this proof should be contained in a deposition of the person who had ceeo so "provided by l.in:, v. 1 sui li hcisu exnipmants or military accoutrements. In no case the production of the ev donee, previously described, be dispensed with, unless the impracticability ofprodming it be clearly proved, and the nearest and best otiier evidence, oi which the cace may be susceptible, must ba furnished in lieu thereof’.
